A 20-year-old student at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia is facing a slew of charges related to human trafficking.
Justin Barrett of Brampton, Ont., was arrested Dec. 13 in his home province in connection with the procurement and exploitation of a 16-year-old girl in the sex trade.
In a statement Tuesday, Elizabeth Yeo, vice-president for students at St. FX, said Barrett has been suspended effectively immediately. She did not mention him by name. The statement goes on to say that the university will reconsider Barrett s status once the case has been dealt with by the courts.
